re: Growing crops/own vegetables?
Posted by pointdog33 on 7/30/21 at 4:21 pm to Korkstand
Laying card board down first is one of those things you’ll find on the internet to help suppress weeds and then it’ll break down after some time under the soil. It’s not really about damaging the park
So in fact these low info growers are doing what the internet has told them and unsuccessfully growing produce.
I actually try to advise a grower who came from that northwest region. He follows a lot of things he has found online as growing tips. He grows absolute shite produce because of the misguided internet garden experts.
This is a really odd topic to troll

Allegedly several people from the group that produced the video got jobs at FOF and were "abusing" the animals to get it on camera
A common tactic from that side as well. Create a disturbance or pay a worker to create a disturbance to put ag in a negative light.
The bottom end type worker in the video are the same type bottom end worker you'd find as part of subcontractor crews. They have no investment in the work they're doing and simply just there to punch the clock.
No industry is free of assholes.
ETA: It is of no benefit for any animal industry producer to practice bad husbandry practices. The managers of those farms have procedures in place to make sure animals are handled correctly under low stress. Stressed animals don't produce whether it is meat or milk.

Unfortunately for the LaSC, the current water was surveyed as land in 1812 and that's pretty much all that matters.
LaSC should propose an optional program that the land owners could partake in that would pay the land owners a fee for the use of the area. IIRC, St.Bernard or Jefferson did something like this for a parish owned property. Making a new license that had to be purchased for their property.
They'll have to outbid the current lease holders though.

Chimeras are only formed when embryos fuse and become 1, so breeding them is the same as breeding any other.
The only difference is if the chimerism extends into the reproductive organs. If the reproductive organs are chimeric then you could produce 4 different parental combinations from 2 animals.

Chimera's are incredibly cool. The ability of an animal to express 2 separate genomes within it's own body and germ line essentially gives you 2 animals in 1.
There's a funny story of a chimera stallion they tried to register, but the genetic testing kept coming back female.

Last post I'll make on this topic to avoid derail further.
The data is from the USDA Pesticide Data Program.
I follow the guidelines set forth by research scientists who have devoted their lives to the improvement of agricultural practices not the EU which has proven to be a unreliable reactionary body.
Whether organic or not, you're "dumping chemicals" to control pests and disease. I follow the practice of putting as few inputs in as necessary, which means I'm only using treatments when necessary. For the most part I only use Bt (organic approved) Seven (safe and been around for years) Permethrin (Synthetic form of natural substance)
Large scale farmers don't have the time or man power to spot treat, so they have to follow research based guidelines for treatment plans.
I'd encourage you to read Truth About Organic Gardening
Good book that doesn't argue for one over the other, but provides insight into both. Including addressing glyphosate.

Originally a forbes article and they name the pesticides.
The bigger take home for me is that the food supply is safe, whether organic or not. If the difference is negligible anyway then why would it matter?
With the widespread use/misuse of homeowner pesticides as well as the local level governments spraying herbicides and pesticides, the drift can't be controlled. That is unless you want to go through the State Departments of Ag to help, which they will then show the applicator certification and tell you that the chemicals were applied correctly.

Yes. Been in it my whole life.
ETA: The tolerance levels allowed in organic farming for non-organic pesticides is often within the limits of what nonorganic produce shows. So essentially an organic farmer could use nonorganics and maintain the status.

There is, however, a rule in the organic certification system that any residue present at 5% or less of the USDA tolerance will be considered “unintentional” and thus not a reason to deny organic certification. 62.1% of the 2015 organic detections met that criterion, but interestingly so do 74.6% of the detections on non-organic samples from the US and 70.1% of the detections from imported, non-organic samples. Not so different.
